Description

This three-bedroom detached house is offered with no forward chain and has been held by the same owner since it was built. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, and a separate kitchen with access to the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms with integrated wardrobes and a shower room. Outside, the south-facing rear garden has a lawn and paved areas, while the front provides a lawned garden and tandem driveway. Double gates give side access to the rear, where there is a detached garage with additional storage; the garage roof is reported to need renewal. The loft is partly boarded and has a ladder and lighting, providing storage space. The house is described as well maintained but in need of updating. The listing notes aluminium-framed double glazing, gas-fired fireplace and electric radiators, original wiring, and a fuse box replaced in 2020. It is situated in Cheylesmore, within reach of local shops, parks, schools, Coventry railway station and the city centre. The existing layout and scope to modernise offer a basis for considering improvements, with any loft or other alterations subject to the relevant checks and approvals.

41out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached Cheylesmore home has a lot to work with: a spacious lounge/diner, a maintained south-facing garden, driveway, detached garage and useful side access. The interior is usable but visibly dated, giving scope for a medium-scale modernisation, while the shower room already looks more recently updated. The garage roof needs renewal, and the original wiring should be professionally assessed.

At £290,000, the asking price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark. More importantly, the purchase price alongside a mid-to-substantial programme of works leaves the overall cost stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area; that comparison is with current local values, not a forecast of what the property might be worth after renovation. The space and setting offer a clear project, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity listing at the stated price.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated interior finishes and kitchen to put a consistent style through the home.
  • Make the most of the spacious lounge/diner and south-facing garden, with broad paved areas for outdoor use.
  • The driveway, detached garage and gated side access provide useful parking and storage features.

Key risks

  • The asking price and a mid-to-substantial works programme together look stretched against local value benchmarks for this floor area.
  • The detached garage roof is stated to need renewal.
  • Original wiring requires professional assessment, despite the fuse box having been replaced in 2020.
  • All-in costs look stretched after allowing for the asking price and a non-cosmetic works programme — roughly 21% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
